This webinar explores the increasing impact of dementia and the essential role GPs play in its management. With dementia often occurring alongside other chronic conditions, GPs are uniquely positioned to provide early diagnosis, continuity of care, and holistic support across the disease trajectory. The session will cover key principles of chronic disease management as applied to dementia, including cognitive screening, care planning, monitoring progression, and managing behavioural symptoms. It will address the complex interplay between dementia and other chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, with a focus on practical strategies to reduce risks like polypharmacy and non-adherence. The webinar also highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, outlining the roles of GPs, nurses, allied health, pharmacists, and dementia-specific services, particularly in rural settings. Real-world case examples will help reinforce learning, and participants will gain tools to better support patients and their caregivers.
